Join MPL for this exciting Wisconsin Historical Society Press paperback book launch event with Dr. Patty Loew, author of Seventh Generation Earth Ethics: Native Voices of Wisconsin. This event is co-sponsored by Boswell Book Company, with book sales and signing following the author conversation.

About the Book: Born out of Patty Loew’s thirty years as a journalist and historian, Seventh Generation Earth Ethics: Native Voices of Wisconsin highlights individuals who helped to sustain and nurture their nations. This collection of biographies, one from each of the twelve Native nations in Wisconsin, introduces the reader to some of the most important figures in ecological and cultural sustainability. Each of the biographies highlights an activist, artist, educator, or healer who helped to sustain and nurture their nations in the past and present. The people whose lives are depicted in Seventh Generation Earth Ethics understood the cultural gravity that kept their people rooted to their ancestral lands and acted in ways that supported future generations.

About the Author: Bestselling author Patty Loew is Professor Emerita in the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and recently retired as the inaugural director of NU’s Center for Native American and Indigenous Research. She is a documentary film producer and former broadcast journalist in public and commercial television. A citizen of Mashkiiziibii (Bad River Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe), she is the author of several books, including Indian Nations of Wisconsin and Native People of Wisconsin, which is used by tens of thousands of Wisconsin school children as a social studies textbook.
